2. Cabaret Ticket Prices

You know the songs, you’ve seen the film, but have you experienced Cabaret live in London? The electrifying West End production brings Berlin’s Kit Kat Club to the UK, wowing audiences every week. The musical is incredibly popular, which means tickets for the best seat in the house can sometimes surpass £200, but there are ways to grab tickets without breaking the bank. 

Grabbing tickets on the day of a performance or visiting the show mid-week are both great ways to save money. Or, we also recommend keeping an eye out for seasonal deals such as London Theatre Week or New Year’s Sales for potential discounts. 

If you’re hoping to grab cheap Cabaret tickets, we’ve got you covered. Below, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to scoring affordable tickets and making the most of your budget.  

3. When to Book Tickets for Cabaret

Cabaret London tickets typically have a good availability two to three months in advance, however, it’s good to keep in mind that the cheaper tickets sell out quickly. If you’re hoping to see the musical on the weekend, we recommend booking tickets as far in advance as possible to help make the most of your budget. 

Off-peak performances on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the best way to keep costs lower. For example, Dress Circle B28 costs £55 on a Tuesday evening in November. The same seat costs £125 on a Saturday evening in the same week. That’s a huge saving of £70!

We understand that discounts might not always be available for Cabaret, however, we recommend reviewing and comparing ticket prices for the dates you’re looking to visit. 

4. Last Minute Cabaret Tickets

If you’re looking for Cabaret last-minute tickets, we recommend checking TKTS. You can do this by visiting their ticket booth in Leicester Square or you can find their same-day discounted West End tickets online. SeatPlan also have a last-minute ticket deals page that combines the best ticket prices from different West End ticket vendors all in one place!

By downloading the TodayTix app, you can enter the Cabaret Lottery. The daily lottery gives you a shot at purchasing one or two tickets for £25 each. You’ll need to enter the day before the performance you’re hoping to see and if you win, you’ll get sent an exclusive link to purchase tickets. 

Unsold tickets on the day of the performance may be discounted depending on the demand. We always recommend researching ticket prices before buying last minute, as prices can fluctuate depending on supply and demand. 

5. Cheap Seating Sections - Where to Sit at Cabaret 

Having the best view within your budget for this in-the-round theatre is incredibly important. We’ve listed below some of the best and cheapest seats at the Playhouse Theatre in London. 

1. Dress Circle F27 is located on the second floor, at the end of the row. Whilst you may miss a few seconds of action, you can see most of the performance from here (from £37)

2. Stalls J11 is located in the back row of the Stalls with great legroom and even a ledge to pop your drinks (from £67)

3. Upper Circle D9 is on the back row of the highest tier of the theatre, although this seat may be the furthest away, it offers an incredible view

4. Stalls G22 is at the end of the row, however there is a wall to the left of the seat. Don’t let that put you off though, the actors often pass this seat and dish out plenty of interactions (from £67)

5. Dress Circle K20 offers an incredible view of all the action on stage, with seats next to this one priced higher, it’s a bargain! (from £37)

6. Cabaret Cheap Matinee Tickets

Cabaret has two matinees per week, on a Wednesday and Saturday, with both performances starting at 2pm. These performances can sometimes be a little cheaper than evening performances. 

If you’re flexible with when you can visit, we recommend booking tickets for a matinee performance as there are typically more tickets available. Matinee performances aren’t as in demand as evening shows, meaning you can sometimes grab high-end tickets at cheaper prices.
